Mumbai Police is not out of place with their advice. Drug menace is still a concerning issue in India. In fact, worse thing is for most the habit starts in their teenage years, the formative years of a human being, according to a NCPCR study. Also, the drug menace isn't limited to Punjab and Delhi, but has reached Kashmir and Kerala as well.
Drug abuse has also taken another form nowadays, called substance abuse, which involves sniffing glue and snorting heroin, opium, among others. While government has brought many strategies and schemes to fight the menace, there should be a meticulous plan to help addicts ditch the compulsion. It doesn't take a genius to understand that it's extremely hard to come out of it.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Police has once again impressed netizens conveying an important message with style. Their earlier tweets on Kiki Challenge and 'My Data is My Data, None of Your Data', has earned them quite a fan following. Truth be said, their tweets are funny, trending and legendary. They sure know how to have some digital fun and the Internet is absolutely loving it.
